Dangote Refinery Reduces Diesel/Jet Prices for Third Time
REFINING
Nigeria’s new mega Dangote refinery is cutting diesel and jet fuel prices in the domestic fuel market – the third time since product deliveries began in March as the refinery ramps up production.
- Until Dangote entered the market in March, the country had to import the vast majority of its refined fuel.
- “The new price is in consonance with the company’s commitment to cushion the effect of economic hardship in Nigeria,” Dangote Group spokesman Anthony Chiejina said.
- The refiner denied earlier this week that the price cuts were a reflection of unsuitable product quality.
- The Dangote refinery is operating at around 300,000 bpd, nearly half its nameplate capacity.
